There's a key skill that every journal editor and publisher needs to develop. Scholarly publishing is increasingly competitive. Journals can't wait passively for good papers to be submitted. The editors of successful journals woo top academics, actively soliciting high quality submissions. The first step is to identify which researchers to approach. I recently recorded a video that shows how to do that, which you can watch here: https://lnkd.in/egndZ2Xr The video is split into three sections: 1️⃣ How to identify prolific researchers 2️⃣ How to identify which researchers are publishing in top journals 3️⃣ How to identify researchers who could write a review You can read a summary on the Dimensions blog here: https://lnkd.in/eHtBJbYb In the age of paper mills, citation cartels etc. it's important to remember that "prolific" or "highly cited" does not necessarily mean "excellent". You'll need to do due diligence on the names that appear on these lists. However, with some care and attention you should be able to work out who the key opinion leaders are within a field of research, so you can: 1️⃣ Improve the diversity of your editorial board 2️⃣ Find new voices to commission review and opinion articles from 3️⃣ Work out who's publishing in competitor journals, but not yours I'm interested to hear what you made of the video. Have you adopted approaches like this already? What are the potential pitfalls that users need to be aware of? Please leave a comment below. #scholarlypublishing #academicpublishing

📣 New case study: How automated analysis improves hiring at the University of Jyväskylä “This is where the Dimensions API really shines.” - Janne-Tuomas Seppänen, University of Jyväskylä. How do you eliminate bias in academic hiring while maintaining assessment quality? The University of Jyväskylä solved this challenge by automating their evaluation process with the Dimensions API, moving beyond journal prestige to focus on research substance and real impact. 🔗 Read the case study to find out more about this process: https://ow.ly/gmUH50WHAWm #AcademicHiring #DimensionsAPI #DimensionsData #ResearchImpact

From doctored images to dodgy metadata, the cracks in our research ecosystem are showing. Over the past year, FoSci (Forensic Scientometrics) has unpacked how manipulation undermines trust in science, and what we can do about it. The mission: not just patch problems, but fix the system. In her latest post, Dr. Leslie McIntosh, VP of Research Integrity at Digital Science, reflects on the FoSci investigations, spanning principles, practices, and pathways to reform.
